About the Topic:
Our ISA Cleveland Section is proud to announce our two-student science fair awardees and their projects. The students will be introducing themselves, their parents, and presenting their projects to everyone. They will be given a memoriam and small monetary award by Herb Harpster and John Mihevic; this year's judges for our Section. As seen by the projects titles noted about, the projects are of significant importance to all of us!

After the presentations by the students, we will have an informal discussion about education and careers. The intent is to primarily guide young people to further their career aspirations whether it be in the engineering or scientific field. The discussion coordinator will be Dennis Fundzak, PE Ret, with Middough Engineering Inc. Also, John Mihevic, NASA Glenn Research Center, and Steve Roesing, President and Entrepreneurial Owner of ASMGi, will facilitate portions of the below. The hope is that audience participation and student input will provide vigorous discussion and recommendations that would be useful to all students.

Some of the items we would like to cover as time permits are:

• Educational curriculum guidelines from high school thru college
• Associate vs Bachelor vs Advanced degrees
• Continuing education throughout career years
• Non scholarly educational activities
• Vocational education and training
• Cooperative educational training and internships
• Scholarships ISA, CTSC, Others
• Certification and/or professional license
• Resume (Curriculum Vitae)
• Communication skills (Language and Writing)
• Working in team settings
• Entrepreneurship versus companies versus military
• Business competencies
• Interviewing
• Drug testing, alcohol testing, and violence
• Social media as related to employment
• Safety
